so todays been a busy day
ive lifted height,
fitted some mazdasppeed ms-01 wheels although they need a refurb they were very local
some brianstorm low profile lights (also ordered some jass low pros too)

fitted some 1.8 brakes they are so much better over the 1.6
done away with the welded diff and fitted the torsen and it feels much quicker off the line..

got some Jackson racing arbs and some adjustable drop links coming from moss, and a mazdaspeed strut brace too
